#1 AMAZON BESTSELLER - Dark, erotic, and psychologically twisted, Tragic Beauty is a spellbinding epic tale that will leave you breathless.
One beauty. Two beasts.The one who owns her. And the one who wants her.
I was sixteen when I made the deal...when I put my fate in the hands of Shayne McAllister, a man determined to break me. A man with black eyes and a blacker heart, he's been obsessed with me since we were kids. Now it's five years later, and my father has passed...and Shayne's coming to collect his debt.
But before I'm his to break, I see a chance to make a choice for myself, and I take it. I slip away for one night. One dark, stormy night that goes horribly wrong...until Gavin West. Handsome, angry, and haunted by demons, he grants me one messed up, beautiful night that changes everything and spares no one. Because Gavin decides he wants more than just one night...he wants me.
What follows, is darkness. A darkness where secrets will be revealed, blood will be shed, and sacrifices made.
My name is Ava, and this is my story.
(Tragic Beauty is a VERY DARK & TWISTED blend of contemporary romance, psychological thriller, and erotic suspense with graphic and disturbing scenes. It is a story about love and obsession, about hope and despair, but most of all, it is about finding light through the darkness. Trigger warnings.)
Note: Tragic Beauty is Book One in the BEAUTY & THE DARKNESS Trilogy. Does not end on a cliffhanger.

"Knocked my socks off. I ignored my family to finish it! ;-) I would recommend it for sure to my friends if I could only be brave enough to let my friends know I love these dark, twisted books!" - Amazon review, P .

Review
"Tragic Beauty encompasses everything a dark romance should be. Iris Ann Hunter has written a gem of a pitch black story of strength and brutal sacrifice entwined in a thorny love story you won't soon forget. I could NOT put this book down!" ~ Gemma James, USA Today Bestselling Author
" A sensational debut from Iris Hunter, a woman who clearly knows her way around a dark romance novel. Full of heat, raw grit, and tangible, intense characters, Tragic Beauty goes way beyond 5-stars for me. I can't wait to read more from this author!" ~ Anita Gray, Amazon Bestselling Author
" Sometimes the road to a 'happily ever after' winds through dark places, devoid of light and hope. Iris Ann Hunter takes us there , to be teased and tormented against our will, to cry out with each stroke of the cane, to wonder if love and hope are gone forever. This is a story that will haunt your dreams long after you close the book." ~ Sophie Kisker, USA Today Bestselling Author
" Warning, this book is very dark. If you don't like that sort of thing then don't read this. But those who do be prepared for an emotionally tumultuous ride. I can't begin to describe this book and the complexity of the characters. Extremely well written. Very, very dark. Beautifully tragic. " ~ Toni, Goodreads
"This is one of those books that will stay with you for many days/weeks/months after you are finished reading. I want to say it grabs you by the heart and just won't let go, but it is more accurate to say it grabs you by the throat and smirks as you are kicking and screaming trying to breathe...Tragic Beauty is not your mother's dark romance." ~ Robin, Goodreads
" This story is EVERYTHING darkness encompasses. Every element of Tragic Beauty feeds the darkness in your soul. If you are a lover of dark suspense, romance, and obsession combined into one, this story is for you." ~ Expresso-Girls Just Wanna Have Books, Goodreads
" Fast paced, dark and twisted, psychologically stunning, intricately written. Highly recommend reading. Prepare yourself... because you won't be the same after reading. " ~ Katie, Goodreads
" A well written masterpiece that is a must read...if you dare. " ~ Gloria, Amazon
